Not a how to book
I bought this book looking for examples on how to create custom JSF components and AJAX or extend existing components. The book is very light on this. It starts with a general overview of the JSF life cycle. Chapter 2 shows you how to create a date component and chapter 3 a deck component. Unfortunately the information is scattered and does not flow very well. Part 2 of the book has very little to do with JSF. Explains what Rich internet technologies then it give other examples of Rich Technologies which dont help you in developing JSF components It even goes into Microsoft technologies This book would be better with more JSF/AJAX examples and less fluff. They try to bring you from entry level knowledge to expert knowledge. If I wish to create JSF components I have been using JSF and the components available to me are limit so when I buy a book like this I do not want to start at the beginning and I am not interested in other technologies that are similar to JSF like XUL, Weblets and Microsoft HTC I have choose my technology when I come to a book like this. If you want a general high level overview this book covering technologies besides JSF this book is ok. If you want an depth book about creating JSF components with AJAX this is not it.
